Problem
Your startup didn't fail because the code was bad.
Most startups shut down due to timing, distribution, or funding — not engineering quality. The code ends up unused on GitHub.
Solution
We turn dead code into real money.
We buy high-quality repos from failed or paused startups for software research and AI training. You get paid. We handle everything else.
No reselling
We buy the codebase, not your company.
No public release
We don't publish your code.
No obligations
No equity. No royalties.
Safe access
Timed, read-only review after you accept.

FAQ
Common questions
Everything you need to know about selling your codebase.
Will you buy unfinished projects?
Yes — if there's real implementation. We value working code with genuine features, even if the product was never launched or completed.
Can the repo be private?
Yes — share via email or invite us after agreeing to terms. We handle everything securely and confidentially.
When do I get paid?
After signing the agreement and completing the code transfer. Payments are typically processed within 3-5 business days.
What happens to my code after the sale?
Your code is used for AI training purposes. It will never be open-sourced, or publicly released.
